Default Drag Wheels for a 2000 WS6

Hey guys I had a question I have been searching for sometime and I am looking for these drag wheels to fit on my car with no mods such as grinding the calipers or fender rolling with the biggest tire I can fit in the back width wise and height wise also. Also with skinnies in the front and these drag rims and such big tires in the back what backspacing will I need to accomodate these. Thanks for the help guys because everyone I see on here has their vehicle altered in some way ie.. 9 inch with axles, I have a stock rearend so I am looking for some help. Thanks again guys.

OH ya the wheels I am looking into getting are the Weld Prostars. Sorry I am not able to post a pic but they are the 5-spoke ones most people run.

Prostars are going to require a good bit of grinding. I had the 6.5" backspacing on my 15x10s with a 275/50 and it looked perfect IMO, for a 26" tire that is. The norm is a 15x10 with 6.5" backspacing (looks better on Camaros), for a 15x8, 5.5" bs, and for the 15x3.5's, you can only get 1.75" bs. A 26" tire on the rear is good unless you're making alot of power, then you will want to step up to a 28".
